Wrong question. The question is "were peoples civil rights ignored because of that?" In both cases: YES.

  Calling things disinformation is not analogous to deporting people and threatening to withhold funds from colleges that don’t crack down on speech the government doesn’t like hard enough; I’m not claiming there was no civil liberty violated by any previous administration, I am claiming this is a serious escalation of a new kind of attack on the first amendment.

    > I’m not claiming there was no civil liberty violated by any previous administration Well. There you go. We can argue about degrees between the red and blue ties but where would that get us? It's a ratchet. I can point out the many problems of the past administration and you can point them all out in this one, and in 8 years time, it will be worse. > I am claiming this is a serious escalation of a new kind of attack on the first amendment. Okay. Did you do anything different last time because of it?

      What are you referencing specifically? I'm not aware of due process or other rights violations during Biden's term and am curious what you mean.

      What are you even trying to say? These events are simply not analogous to the events of previous administrations. Please stop trying to reduce it to a partisan debate.
